This week I’m sharing Christmas tree themes from years past! Last year was one of my favorite trees: Rustic Farmhouse. From top to bottom I covered this tree in rustic farmhouse inspiration and handmade rustic farmhouse Christmas ornaments:

I made everything from the chicken-themed weathervane topper to the galvanized tubs underneath the tree:

For my December project as a Michaels Maker, I made my own DIY art themed wrapping paper for my art themed tree!

I used paint and stamps to transform white and kraft-color craft paper into interesting wrapping paper:

Colorful yarn was used to finish off each package:

The “ART” wrapping paper was so easy to make with regular acrylic craft paint and plain white craft paper. I used this pack of Artist Loft acrylics because it had the perfect range of colors. I painted with one color at a time, painting the letters separately around the paper:

I’ve made my own wrapping paper almost every year! Last year was chicken themed, click here or click the image to see more!

This year I carved paintbrush, scissors and a crayon box stamps. I stamped them separately on some papers and mixed them all together for others:

The great part is that you’ll have the stamps forever for so many different projects!
